Description

Knobbler4 turns your iPad into an auto-labeling, auto-coloring, multitouch parameter control surface for your iPad and Ableton Live. Android version in Beta -- email me at [email protected] if you would like to be a tester!

Map parameters to unmapped sliders on the iPad with a single touch. No need to enter and exit a mapping mode.

Parameter mapping configuration is saved with your Live Set, so you can switch between songs with minimal friction. Track, device, and parameter names are kept synchronized with your Live Set as you change them, even track colors!

Access every parameter in the currently selected device via the "Bluhand" tab. Bring new efficiency to your workflow.

Parameter sliders and values are updated in real time, with the same units (e.g. dB, ms, %) displayed as what you see in Live.

Navigate your Live Set faster than ever with instant touch navigation through your groups, tracks, racks, chains, and devices.

Provides a channel strip for the currently selected track to adjust volume, pan, mute, solo, record arm, sends, and the crossfader.

    Great work, super useful device.  Would love to see an XYpad added to this.
  • zsteinkamp · December 15 2024
    Thanks @rhythmhead :) In your mind's eye, do you see the two axes of the XYPad attached to two parameters? What do you envision the mapping process would be? Maybe tap something near the axis you want to assign?

    Yeah I love your current mapping system but I wouldn't even mind a button that would map each axis. I'm sure you can think of something more elegant. Maybe a button/display label that once you hit , it would map and display the parameter.  Keep up the work, great stuff again.

    Amazing for exploring new Ableton devices without having to click around all the time, and for experimenting with set automation in general. Thank you so much for developing and sharing this!
    +1 for XY, maybe the X/Y lock buttons could serve the purpose of mapping triggers too?
